Domestic abuse survivors, trying to rebuild their lives, can't ask for debt assistance without publishing their name & address, unless they buy a 'Person at Risk of Violence' Order: Price £318 Labour has just scrapped that charge, so survivors can save & stay safe simultaneously

Family Ct Judges have hugely under-valued domestic abuse as a factor in children proceedings, elevating a presumption of shared parenting to a nearly unbreakable rule. Impressive that Labour will just stop this & sees that DA is massively damaging to kids.

Excellent! Serious sex offenders automatically lose parental rights over their own children by Govt amendment to the Victims & Courts Bill. Will protect 000s children & save 000s women from enforced negotiation with an abuser, about a child’s schooling/medical care/trips abroad

Good day at my former Uni, Northumbria! Research on the CARA project for DA perpetrator change. Also interesting presentation about the nexus between coercion by violent partners & women's offending. I am thinking a lot about the need for a new defence here

Five grooming gang survivors say they will only stay on the inquiry panel if Jess Phillips stays in post. I am sad if the others won't return but I have known Jess a long time and we need her in Government on this very issue & all the others around Violence Against Women & Girls

Great that Joshua Rosenberg likes both that I've asked HMCPSI to inspect the CCRC's casework AND that we had a staff day last week when almost everybody in the Commission came into the Birmingham offices! https://t.co/XprdLlmXSx #GoogleAlerts
